Ask for Laura as your guide

The Vatican was crowded but our fabulous guide Laura managed our small group with academic expertise and humor I was surprised and delighted to have a PhD in art history as my guide through this ultimate world site She was full of knowledge and shared it on a level that all could enjoy What a great experience FYI the Vatican tour has lots of steps up and down

Quick skip the line access and very knowledgeable guide

Very easy to find the guide and theyre great at keeping the group entertained with information about the Vatican while waiting in the line for the gates to open about a 30 minute wait with a guided tour this beats waiting 23 hours to get in So helpful getting us through security Catalina was very knowledgeable Id recommend booking the experience with a guide because we wouldnt have known what we were looking at otherwise We learned so much 1010 I recommend booking basilica tickets 7 euro on basilica website for afterwards an hour after the tour is projected to end so you have plenty of time to get from point A to point B as the exit after Sistine chapel from Vatican is very long Follow the Vatican wall straight to the online ticket line Otherwise waiting for free entry could be 2 hours If you have a baby definitely do not bring a pramstroller A carrier worked fine for us Not only are stairs unavoidable but the crowd even during off season was shoulder to shoulder in some areas Also When exiting the Sistine Chapel do not miss St Peter and St Johns robes on display They are off to one side in a glass case and would be easy to miss if youre in a rush I am unsure why the Vatican Museums chose to display such important pieces so randomly but they are just incredible to look at
